It began as a problem: Might columnist Tamar Haspel and her husband eat one meal a day from meals they grew or foraged for a complete yr?
Haspel was intrigued by the experiment. Her husband, often a “why not” man, was much less enthusiastic. It was winter on Cape Cod, in spite of everything.
However they launched into the journey anyway, simply months after buying and selling their Manhattan rental for a shack on a two-acre lot in Massachusetts. They realized to clams. They constructed hoop homes. They grew tomatoes, in raised beds, after futile makes an attempt to domesticate their very own sandy soil. They took chickens.
They usually realized. They found new methods of consuming, a brand new appreciation for meals. They discovered that it isn’t as tough as consultants usually make it out to be.
This Friday at 11 am, MPR Information host Kerri Miller talks to Haspel in regards to the nice journey documented in her new ebook, “To Boldly Develop.” Full of humor, sensible recommendation, and hard-earned knowledge, each the ebook and the dialog will encourage a brand new respect for what we eat and the soil and resilience that nurture us.
